Testimonials - Honoring my Fire Chief Father
Back to list
I've been thinking for a long time that there must be a better alternative to memorializing a family member than a headstone and casket. The expense notwithstanding.
When my father passed away he meant a great deal to many people. He was a loved and respected man where he served as Fire Chief for almost 30 years. He was loved and respected by his wife of almost 40 years. He was loved and respected by his children and grandchildren. My wife and I just purchased our first home shortly after my father was diagnosed with inoperable liver cancer, so he was never able to come and see our home. I know he would've been proud. Thanks to The Living Urn my father will be part of our family, looking down on us for decades to come, memorialized in a Magnolia in our front yard.
While it's only a sapling now, it will always be a constant reminder to nurture our family as it grows to be rich and full and strong, just like the bonds we hope to share throughout our lives.
Thank you for your email about planting a tree in his honor. I can't express how much it meant to me.
Thanks,
Aaron Metzger
